i believe you would have to opt in to share that info with police. im not 100% of course because im only speaking with the limited knowledge i have from videos on Flock, but they do say that each person/town/whatever that joins the network has to manually choose to share the info with the boys. it could just have to be amazon saying 'yes', im not sure, def something to look into
They say that, but I can almost guarantee you the feds get direct access without asking and keep it a secret, because that's how tech companies do things in general. Flock cameras/data is openly used to provide a combined search of all cameras, this partnership implies Ring is going to go further in that direction too.
Yeah they can just say "patriot act" basically
